I thought I would get the senior citizens of my herd out today

That is awesome slammer!! Those are some gorgeous round hoods!! My poor old senior citizen keeps asking me when she can retire! I keep telling her...someday sweety, someday! Lol! She and I just finished mowing an acre and a half. Gotta love that round hood style! ;-)

oh yeah, it's my "this is a hell of a lot easier on my old back tool". feel free to copy .

I am very excited to announce that as of Saturday Sept 6th 2014 a new club has been established and named the BUCKEYE WHEEL HORSE COLLECTOR CLUB with a total of 21 registered members so far. A few of us local collectors here in Ohio have been talking about starting a club for years and we decided to make it happen this past weekend at the Mansfield,Ohio show. We will be sending out news letters to the registered members with more info,meetings etc..as they occur,we are currently working on a club logo.

Check 'em out! Whelen TIR3s in red, and 1 Whelen LIN3 in amber. Here is the new youtube vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa9ZSUqn8Qg&list=UUERiXFPymQ8udA7l1_MRVIw wheel horse leds.mov

I hesitated to start this thread but now I am glad I did. It looks like I was not the only dummy up here. If it saves one person from getting a punctured eye it served its purpose.

Glad to see your "blower" is RED, Wayne.

this is all i should need in the Arizona desert . sorry, just could not help myself.

Hi all as most of you may know I'm a bit of a wheelhorse Nut , and we all like to make and design our own attachment and adapt our machines to be as versatile as possible I've seen some original wheel horse generators on the net but they are very rare so I've decided to build one . I first started by sourcing a 240v Generator off that site . Then I've now been designing my own quick release cradle for it to sit in . Attached Thumbnails

It wasn't me, I was way over in SE Ohio. No really I was. I went to WV then turned left and went several more hours, above Athens OH. Plus I have 16 already, I have enough plows to sell this winter, just have to get them all sandblasted, painted and decaled up. The 3 I have on CL are 3 of 5 I bought. I had to buy 5 to get the 2 48" plows I wanted. The white one on CL I was told is a Bolens from a guy who wants it.

Thanks everyone for the interest in our club. We will be honored to have each & everyone of you. We will be having a board meeting very soon on how we are going to handle mail or internet sign up. We will be posting the info as soon as we have it.

After reading this...I've just ordered my full face grinding shield guys... should have had one all along, thanks for the tip.

Was going to do an around the neighbor hood video but it's over 100 on the Tarmac! Had to settle for a few poses.

Wayne you are one sick puppy!!! +1

Slammer, great post of the senior citizens. Comment made by a senior citizen. GLENN

Wow... I think even those are a little crazy priced! It never even dawned on me that there would be someone reproducing batteries in the original style cases. I suppose though... both of you (Craig and Martin) being car enthusiasts, you've probably known about this for a while. Pretty cool little detail part if you are after the truest representation of originality. I agree though, that for the majority of us Wheel Horse guys, at that kind of price, it's absolutely ridiculous. However.... if someone only had one tractor and no room for another or something, I could totally see spending more money on making a "perfect" restoration. People do it all the time in other hobbies.

GADZOOKS!!! Bet that was a surprise! I had something like that happen about an hour ago. Went to get my homemade front weight for the 701, that I had stored by the well house this summer, to give it a fresh coat of paint...and to my surprise!!!!....There's a spider the size of, what appeared to me, a tennis ball staring out of that web hole! So I decided to wait til I get some bug spray to paint it...then I happened to look up...and said forget it! Lol!

So you havent been doing your homework for the first 2 weeks Mr Saurus? Youre doing pretty good for a hack! I would suggest you and all the others on here start putting a little time and effort into this or I'll be the man to beat all season...Remember second place is just the first L-O-S-E-R!

Although it is a fact for me, I have a great sense of humor, and am always making eye/one-eye jokes and jokes about myself...Often I say "It's all fun & games until somebody loses an eye.. because then I have to find it, etc..." And "There is no "I" in team, but there IS one "eye" in me!" Gotta laugh at what comes our way..... As Jimmy Buffett said "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane" But seriously guys... take care of 'em..... prosthetics are expensive!

Glenn, who's that I see there wearing the steel toed sandals?

For sale: Ouija Board

STOP IT... he killed that one years ago.

Trimming off excess thread. Finished door on right. Original on left.

We hit a grand slam with the W.H. displays at the Mansfield show this weekend,awesome show,great time with fellow collectors...

Putzed around the house mounting up the RJ plow and tombstone today.

On Saturday the little Electro went to Cajun Model Fest here in Baton Rouge and did alright. After winning in its class it took "Best Auto" which is one of the top level prizes. It might be a bit of a stretch to call it an auto but I was able to enter it as an off-road vehicle which made it eligible in the Automotive category. Thanks to all the Red Square members for the enthusiastic support. It wouldn't have been such a success without you!

So one of the things that I have been searching for besides a loader, is a snow cab. After snow blowing this year and looking like frosty . Then watching horse fixer in his Tim the tool man Taylor snow chucker..... I knew I needed to have one. So , I searched everywhere and coming up empty, I finally struck gold at the show. I came up to the show early Saturday and sitting in one of the pavilions was a snow cab. I was surprised it had not been sucked up for the price. It was a little dirty/moldy. I also was unsure if it was missing any frame parts. The big problem is the missing door. So tonight I drug out the power washer and mean green. I scrubbed away with a brush , rinsed and repeat. To my surprised , it came out looking like new. There are no rips and the vinyl is still very soft. I then moved to the frame. A few pieces are a little rusty but will clean up nice. I was missing two pieces. The support off the dash and the piece that goes from the inner foot rest to the inner windshield mount. So I started bending up some steal and got this far tonight. I think once painted , no one will know it was not original. So all in all , had fun for the few hours I was at the show. Got to meet up with Bill Jenkins for a little , and meet Matt with the hydro pedal. Very nice guy. Got a few things I needed. I put up a wanted add, I am hoping someone out there might have a left side door for sale. Maybe someone with a beat up cab but the door is savable. If not , I will try and make one but its not ideal. Anyone know if I can still buy a door? PS , I would love to have a way to identify some of you guys at the show. I feel weird walking up and saying , Hey , is that you.... lol Kyle

can anyone id this obviously highly sophisticated wheel horse tool ?????

Is it just me, or have you guys ever seen a Chevelle come off the line like this one did?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Perfect. That confirms my suspicions about testing. That is very similar to the way you test a kohler trigger module. Judging by the way you need both north and south pole to trigger the module, I would surely says its a hall effect sensor and some other goodys. Thanks for finding that! I knew that darn squirrel was ahead of me again.

The underside huh? You got it too!

for sharin the pics, ain't it amazin what some folks come up with

thanks for the replies and I am waiting for switch till I do anything else..

So now we know!!!

That was a good trick to get rid of the computer guys fast!

Steve how come you don't add the teams BCS ranking? Edit: I guess I shouldn't say BCS because that is not available until week 8.. So let me try that again.. " Steve how come you don't add the teams National rank based on the AP Poll " There thats more better!!

Dave, if you going to rewire your tractor, I might suggest looking into the "MAXI FUSE" style of fuse holder for the 30 amp fuses. These are a holder / fuse combo that are intended for reliable high amperage connections. The fuse actually bolts onto a substantial fuse holder and provides a long term reliable connection. Just as the high current compromises the fuse holder, the 9 pin engine harness connector also suffers from degraded connections on certain pins within the male / female MOLEX connector. You will most likely see evidence of heat stress or aging of the plastic housing on the engine harness connection also. There are several posts which point out sources to purchase replacement pins and connector shells for this area.

That's your buddy Johnny. Lol

Better get it before somebody else does!

Just got my internet back & I'm wore out took 9 WH & 9 other brand garden tractors to Mansfield. Also hauled 6 WH for a fellow collector. Hammerhead you were missed but glad Larry brought your tractors. We will see you soon. Thanks to every one who showed up We had 82 Wheel Horses & 16 collectors on Saturday. About 1/2 left Saturday but A few more Showed up Sunday.

Murb. Yea , it's all there including the flag....that's a plus. Looks like the auger has had some encounters though. Were you using it to till the rock garden?? If it were mine, I would straighten the auger and ask $150. Just my .

agreed on the shorted regulator the TORO voltmeters are OK as long as you realize their limitations - to me, the markings are off. The inaccurate voltage indications can be mediated by inserting a resistor in line with the meter leads. I thought I did a post on that issue years ago, I'll have to look,

I managed to get the gearbox and chassis cleaned and painted The remote gear linkages are almost there, not a lot of room for both and the steering box. Here's the two halves on different benches just waiting to come together. Bendy will be on all fours next weekend :D

I got home from work early today , it was glorious September sunshine so I wheeled out the two ponds to do a little dusting around before I put them back in the stable to cozy up for the winter. While they we out I thought it was a good time for a photo shoot.

Because of the way I had to mount the rack up side down, I had to make a reversing drop box. I took a gear from a oil pump and cut in two and added shafts to them, machined a case added roller bearings. And this is what I came up with.

For the light duty stuff, might maybe give this one a go.

I bought the snow thrower at the sale in pa this was when I first got it home I've got wheel weights and chains on it now missed out on a snowcab

Its going to leak because its installed wrong. Nothing to do with the deck. Any Job big or small, do it twice or not at all!!

Bob, I can just see the smile on MJ's face. That has to be worth it right there. The best of luck to you guys. BTW...the office looks great.

Progress being made.... Today I bent up the frame pieces for the missing door on my cab. I am pretty impressed with the turn out. Last week I received the original material for the door and window from the cab company. Sometime this week I will be making a trip to my mothers to sew on the fabric. What do you think so far
